We are today a Nation divided not by physical boundaries between the different states that make up our Nation,
not by any great cause championed by the Malays against the non-Malays
or vice versa nor by any crusade against any external or internal threat
that does not find popular support amongst our people. What defines our
society today is avarice when there should be generosity, arrogance
when there should be humility and hate when they should be tolerance. What divide our people today are the hearts and minds of individuals
that make up the very fabric of our society! Today the common values
that should unite us are subjected to constant debates and coloured by race, religion and the vested interests of politicians!
What
we have today is more sinister, more debilitating and more pervasive
because it weakens our people individually. How do you combat corruption
when corruption is done between consenting conspirators? How do you
combat arrogance when arrogance is found within individuals. And how do you combat hate when hate can be so easily concealed?
The thing that ails our nation today are its people. Not the Malays or the non-Malays - not the ethnicity of our nation but the life choices that each and every one of us makes everyday.
It is for a Malay to decide if he will like or dislike those
who are not Malays. It is for the individual if he will be corrupt or
give a bribe. It is for the individual to decide if he feels threatened
or not by the religion of others. Our government choses to manipulate us
according to their vested interest but still the final decision to do
so is really up to the individual alone.
Thoughts
control…divide and rule…these are the weapons of choice used by
politicians to maintain power. These are truly despicable methods used
by governments that we associate with third world countries, communists and countries ruled by despots and dictators. That UMNO has increasingly resorted to these means is a sign of their desperation to maintain political
control of a people who are tiring of an overbearing, corrupt and
arrogant government totally out of touch with the reality of openness
and personal freedom that our people now demands. Our salvation lies in
ourselves and our ability to change what we do not want.
This is what this 13th general election will be all about.
We accept that in any nation,
amongst any people and within any society there will be conflicts of
race, religion and the push and pull of life as we try to live with each
other. What we cannot, would not and should not accept is any
government that seeks to exploits these areas of potential conflict for
its own political gains! Such a government is this UMNO led Barisan
Nasional! Its policies and deeds are meant to wreck asunder whatever goodwill
and harmony that has been built between the various and diverse race
and religion that exists in our country because only in the resulting
conflict can UMNO rule.
Not
satisfied with what they have already done to divide and rule our
people in the last five decades UMNO have encouraged the coming of
immigrants – legal and illegal – and then seek to assimilate these
pendatangs into the very fabric of our society in the mistaken belief
that their presence will provide UMNO with a ‘vote bank’ of grateful
immigrants who have been granted citizenship and will vote UMNO in any
election.
UMNO may have got their ‘vote bank’ but the costs to our society has been social upheaval and disintegration of law and order as these large numbers of legal and illegal immigrants with little education and minimal social skills
do little to integrate themselves into our society. Instead they have
caused the disintegration of the very fabric of Malaysian society, as we
have known it since Merdeka.
Now
not only do we have this UMNO led Barisan Nasional government divide
and rule us by their deeds and policies but we have the added
burden of having these uneducated and largely unskilled pendatangs
numbering in the millions, imposing their way of life upon us! How much
more can our people endure in the name of keeping UMNO in power?
Today
we are indeed a people divided. Divided by an irresponsible and
despicable government that will stop at nothing to keep political power.
Political power that they then use not for the common good of our nation
or its people but political power to perpetuate a corrupt and self
serving regime that is now bankrupt of any decency and no longer
deserves the honour of government.
It
is time for change. Time for us finish what we started in the 12th
general election –a changing of the guards! A changing of leaders that
have grown too prosperous, too self absorb, too arrogant and too remote
from the people they are meant to serve.
